Ralph Waldo Emerson on change

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

Benjamin Disraeli1804–1881

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

When you’re through changing, you’re through.

Bruce Fairchild Barton1886–1967
